Easy working night for him, PG Coopers has arrived
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401909948
The point guard experiment in his rookie year easily paid off
What we wanted to happen to Sochan ðŸ˜
Maybe he can study Coop’s game now that he’s on the Texas Legends
What we wanted with Justise Winslow lmao
Its free to dream hahahaha
sochan even in the same breath as Flagg
Yea the dumb ppl on here who mocked that. Like an 18 super gifted guy cant improve at something
I mean he honestly didn’t play that much point guard. They never really ran sets for him or pick and roll. He just kinda had the ball alot and was good at iso. I think giving him that opportunity was good, but he was an 18 year old generational talent, so I think he would have figured it out either way.
I think he brought the ball up a lot and that waslike the only thing PGish
Could have figured it out either way, but people were like “what the hell are they doing with Flagg, why does he have the ball so much he is just 18” because he was dropping stinkers, that’s just how coaches develop players
People were calling him a bust the first few months of his 18 yo rookie season lol
No they weren’t, he was top 5 on the rookie ladder every week and #1 by early December. People questioned putting him at PG but nobody serious was calling him a bust.
Probably more like first few weeks then. I definitely saw Flagg being called a bust
My boy’s weakness was supposed to be passing I’m crying in the club right now. He’s playing better than any wing not named Lebron James in their 2nd year
Passing is his second or third best skill now.
Passing was never supposed to be his weakness. He was a greater passer in college. His handle was probably the only thing anyone ever tried to nitpick by the time the college season ended and he’d proved to be at least a pretty good shooter.
He was never a weak passer. He was a fantastic passer at duke, he initiated their offense about 3/4ths of the time
He was a really advanced passer pre-nba.
Jason Kidd is a genius for playing him at pg because now he’s going to get credited for something Flagg was already going to be very good at.
Jason Kidd is an asshole and he didn’t have a lot of options.
I was praying he would force the ball into other player’s hands before they traded Luka, so call me a hypocrite I guess.
Kidd did it with Giannis too and it worked out well.
He been doing this since high school lol Jason Kidd didn’t do this shit
“experiment”
Wasnt an experiment. He was already a good point guard from day 1. The struggles were due to playing 3 other bigs and only one other guard on the floor with him at the beginning of the season.
Yes, I was here day 1 saying this is going to be great for him, same with Wemby shooting like 78 3s a game, this is what good coaching looks like, no one is going to give a shit what you do in your first 10 games if you are a great player
The nets are a disgustingly awful basketball team my gawd.
The bottom of the league is REALLY bad this season. Feels worse than normal idk why.
Nets, bucks, bulls, clips, jazz, pels, kings are sooo soooo bad
Most of those teams aren’t even really tanking, with new rules, just good old fashioned shit basketball
lmfao everyone realized that they werent losing games on purpose they just suck
Ethical sucking.
we’re so bad people forget to mention us in the worst in the league convos
I mean yall are injured, most of those teams listed are legitimately bad fully healthy.
at this point i dont think a fully healthy hornets would even make playins
Probably not, but there’s a level between that and the Sacramento Kings. Charlotte i just feel sorry for. I somewhat understand the rationale I guess but trading Lamelo was tragic
Probably because of all of the injuries.
would u guys want to trade for a slightly used fox for one of your bigs
The Pels are good I promise
4-0 when Dejounte doesn’t play..
What’s going on in Utah? I though Danny Ainge was good at his job
Injuries before the season even started and they keep coming
What about last year? And then the year before that? And year before that?
Bulls didn’t look bad in today’s game, and Jazz are just injured
Agreed. Some fan boys get hard when a player goes off on a shit team. Elijah Martin dropped 27 and 5 of 6 from 3 with lock down defense against the bucks last week. So what.
It’s cool to see random players do that stuff though tbh.
Facts.
And the NBA wants to add 2 more teams…
If you’re gonna have parity with winning, you gotta have parity with losing too
It hits different when they’re actually trying i guess. The end of season is gonna be pretty funny as they fight to stay in that sweet spot, a mix of tankbowls and just plain shit ball.
It’s weird man, Nets should be rebuilding and that means getting SOMETHING for Dubious Handles and MPJ on the trade block. But both those guys seem like they don’t give af about their trade value to get out of Brooklyn.

If Dusty May coached Cooper last year he would be farther along in his development. Kidd is super overrated by people who don’t watch him coach 82 games a year.
Hawks got the #1 pick between Wemby and Flagg. Ouch
And that #1 pick is with us now and doing ntb.
Good bounce back game.
I know they lost Luka but got a Stud in Flagg
Nico is gone, you can’t hurt us anymore
I can’t, but Fatrick & Miriam might down the road
Well good thing Miriam is no longer an owner.
Lol masai will die (quit) before that happens
The Adelsons sold their stake in the Mavs last month, so Miriam can’t either.
The ratings are back up so no need for Silver to hand y’all another potential HOF for pennies on the dolla
He’s a new england boy he’s wearing green in 8 years
& Tatum will be a Laker somehow someway
3⁄5 from 3
Future MVP I’m calling it
Hope cooper can use this game to get out of his struggling period
damn Acuff had 14 in his fifth game ever.
How many 50pt games has he had?
Acuff is also a primary PG, creating shots is what he’s specialized for. Flagg is a forward, I would be surprised if Acuff DIDNT have a more assist game.
His career high in assists was 12!?
Ya’ll really have been overreacting to Flagg.
You’re so right! we are overacting to a teenager who’s dropped 51 in a game and is averaging 25 this season ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
If you are placing him in top 10 player discussions, as happened recently in this sub, then yes, you are overreacting.
What if I’m placing in the top 15 player discussions…
More reasonable, still arguable, but not overreacting.
Kevin Durant’s career high in points was 55!?
Y’all really have been overreacting to KD
Pshhh, not even close to Bam numbers. Pathetic.
